“Bravado Magenta” / Director / Documentary / 2019 

Bravado Magenta cartel oficial final.png

Bravado Magenta is a cartography of racialized masculinities through a transversal analysis on coloniality.

Visual poetry, non-linear narratives and provocative film aesthetics illustrate the constitution of Bravado Magenta as a theatrical exercise of self-representation, challenging traditional schemes of documentary filmmaking.

Bravado Magenta is a deep journey into the political discursivity of the body, with testimonials from Devyn Springer, Zoé Samudzi, Fabián Villegas, Njoki wa Ngugi, Rodolfo Rensoli, Zahira Kelly amongst others.

Written and Directed by interdisciplinary artist and scholar Bocafloja (Nana Dijo, 2016), Cinematographed by Juan L. Azpiri and Cambiowashere, Bravado Magenta engages in a relevant discussion on gender, sexuality and global south studies.
